Still experimenting with the macro lens and 1.7x teleconverter. I shot a batch at the smallest aperture, but the ISO heads to 6,400 and the image quality gets totally degraded. Then, I returned to f/8, and shot at the faster shutter speed and set the advance mode to CH (continuous high).
The in focus plane is so limited that for a rapidly moving insect, there’s less than a second where the face is in focus.

By the next frame, the bee was already taking off and blurry. That would have been an even cooler shot to get in focus.
